19:37:24 gary -> Reading has also become audiobooks for many
19:37:37 jackiegerstein -> Two different issues - reading for depth and information overload (as Clay Shirky says it is not information overload, its is lack of filtering)
19:40:10 PeggyG -> I've heard it said that information overload suggests an old paradigm that thinks we truly can be on top of all of the information and since that isn't possible any longer we need to change our paradigm

19:55:12 PeggyG -> the rules are lights out only--not everything powered by electricity
19:55:30 PeggyG -> it's an awareness raising kind of experience not an energy saving purpose
